| Don't leaf out the cabbage
SCHOOL dinners and hospital food, watery soup diets and supermarket coleslaw - no wonder cabbages are hardly top of most people's list when it comes to favourite foods. Add in the unfortunate gassy side effects of consuming too much and the nasty whiff that lingers in the kitchen once you've cooked it to infinity and back, and - on the surface at least - cabbage really doesn't seem to have much going for it. .
The Fatty Issue
WE'VE had the Atkins diet, the blood group diet, the cabbage soup diet, and now the liposuction "diet". As any woman will tell you, when it comes to losing weight, a "by-any-means-necessary" approach is not uncommon. However, those "means" included a painful surgical procedure at a cost of £3,000 for around 4,000 Brits who had liposuction treatments last year, most of whom were women. For the majority of us, the result of liposuction sounds like a dream. Imagine going to sleep and waking up a couple of hours later to find yourself a few pounds lighter, without the punishing workouts and miserable diets usually associated with weight loss. .

Spring break is coming up, which means trips to warm locations and trying to look good in that bathing suit. This is powerful motivation to go on a diet. Trying to lose weight is hard for the average person, but for a Simpson student whose weekly diet consists of starchy foods from Pfeiffer and a weekend diet of beer, it's even harder. .
An even stricter diet: State bill proposes more calorie cutting ...
SALEM - The Eugene School District may be feeding its students tofu sloppy Joes and keeping soda pop out of their reach, but critics say too many districts still let students choose high-fat pepperoni pizza and calorie-rich snack bars. Citing an epidemic of obese children, a bipartisan group of lawmakers and health advocates Wednesday introduced legislation banning unhealthy foods and drinks in schools. Sen. Joanne Verger, a Coos Bay Democrat and one of the bill's sponsors, said schools have a duty to provide only healthful options for students' food and drink - even if their parents are OK with jumbo pop and fast food at home. "They have a responsibility to stand up and say, `These are good choices for you,' " she said. The proposal, House Bill 2650, limits by calorie count and fat and sugar content the snacks, drinks and a la carte entrees students can get in school and at after-school activities.
